-Workshop attendee, "Writing an Academic Cover Letter"
"This was one of the best hours spent of my academic career. I have always been insecure about by writing skills, but while working with my tutor, I got very precise and effective feedback. My consultant had already looked at the document I uploaded, had very specific queries as we started the session, and then addressed them with very specific answers.

I actually wrote for an hour immediately after the session, and I think I have a good first page of my SOP."
